Bolt Thrower Singer Quits Band

British extreme metal pioneers Bolt Thrower have announced the departure of vocalist Dave Ingram. In a statement, the band said, "Dave has been suffering with health and personal problems for a while now and he has decided that it would be best if he left the band to concentrate on his recovery. We would like to thank him for the 6 years he dedicated to the band and we wish him all the very best for the future."

Bolt Thrower were due to go into the studio shortly to record their eighth album, (the follow up to 2001's "Honour, Valour, Pride" — the only Bolt Thrower release featuring Ingram on vocals), but the recording will now be delayed until a replacement is found.
